Why do people believe PJ will only play for 90min in Central Park? Was this announced somewhere?

Also, is PJ the last to perform? Thanks for any insight.

    Because that's about as long as all the closing acts have played at this concert in the last few years. Is it possible they play longer? Of course, and I won't be surprised if they play more in line with 2 hours, in the range of one of their shorter tour shows (if they can, and the venue curfew allows it). Remember, its generally a free show. The expectations are they will play for a shorter amount of time then a normal paid Pearl Jam show and that the set list will be more geared to a casual fan. Should still be great.

    There's less acts than there has been in previous years. Hopefully that means more time for those playing this year.

    I read somewhere that the show times are 3-10pm. Four artists, three of which are headliners (oddly, Coldplay is not a headliner?). Set down, set up, performances for each, plus some random speeches etc. Just doesn't seem like enough time for much beyond 90 minutes.

    Below are the headlining sets for the first three editions of this festival. I was at the first show and Neil played only about 70 minutes. Maybe Pearl Jam will play longer but we really have no evidence indicating that.

    Neil Young's headlining set from 2012:

    Because most festivals are 90 min or a little past that. Maybe being that this year on 4 artist are playing, they will give pj around 2 hours or so.

    Looks like a 90 min set max. It'll be a greatest hits set with one or two gems thrown in.

    I bought tix but am coming from MIL. After hearing it may only be a 90min set I may reconsider. Love PJ but don't have much cash to dispense on a 16 song set list.

    My guess is Ed Sheeran and Coldplay play for an hour with a 30 minute set break in between. Beyonce plays 6:00 to 7:30, which leaves us with Pearl Jam from 8:00 to slightly after 10:00.

    That's why I don't care for festival's
    I've been to many just to get my fix
    give me an indoor show with one or no opening act
    That's just my stupid opinion

    Not a stupid opinion.
    I think if they headlined the Gorge for an event like this fans would see more PJ and less fill.

    I don't think anyone is going to disagree with you that if they could see Pearl Jam it would be on their own indoors versus a festival.

    That said, Pearl Jam is play a festival in Central Park. Gonna be great!

    Coldplay said they're playing a short set. Also there's going to be a lot of celebrity speakers. And other important people talking in between the acts

    I think the only ones who are going to be disappointed by Global Citizen are those who walk in with unrealistic expectations. This band is awesome, this band always brings it, and on 9/26 they'll rock Central effing Park! How cool is that?

    PJ have been known to break hard curfews and being that this is a one time only show, they can afford to go past 10 pm a little bit. If they did break curfew, it would make for a memorable experience, lol.

    agreed.

    If people are expecting anything more than 2 hours, stay home. I'm only going to this cause I need my fix and it's a local show.

    It's not a one time show though. It's an annual show. Blowing curfew this year could impact the permits Global Citizen needs to get for next year. I'd be surprised to see them break this curfew.

    Central Park is extremely strict with curfews. Just think of the people who live around the park- they have money and power and the organizers will not want to mess with that. I've never heard of a show going late in the park but I'd love to be proven wrong.

    From what I'm reading from past shows, headliners get around 60 minutes. Has it been confirmed PJ will get longer than this or that they are even going on last? When this lineup was first announced, I thought Beyonce would be last.

    Usually there are 6 performers. And Coldplay said they would play a short set.

    I talked so much shit about Coldplay until I was dragged to one of their concerts a few years ago. Consider myself a fan now.
